It means "born" and is used to signify the maiden name of a woman. You will find it often in obituaries and when you see it you know that you just found a vital piece of information for going back one more generation on the maternal side. I would guess that you saw it after Damicela's name so now you know that your great grandmother was Damicela Mackanis. Judy Hi, I have a small document that says Testimony of Morality on it. Kazimierz Basis (my grandfather) 2.10.1899 (his birth date) Dowboryszki - Poland (place of birth ) I thought he was born in Lithuania....my mom even says so. August and Damicela are his parents (Son-surname of parents) what does nee mean? after nee is says Mackanis This is from a Polish Camp in Germany. Can anyone help?
